A sweet sugar syrup with some fragrant vanilla for these delicate pears.
The pears are packed raw and in clean, but unsterilized jars, so they will keep for only a week in the fridge, but that’s only a problem if they’re not all eaten with ice cream immediately. They are also delicious, lightly cooked in a pan with a tablespoon of coconut oil, a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a spoon of maple syrup.

- 4 Pears
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- Allow all sugar to dissolve
- When sugar is dissolved and syrup goes from cloudy to clear, remove from heat
- Peel and core the pears and slice into quarters
- Drizzle lemon juice over pears
- Remove seeds from vanilla pod and rub over pears {your fingers will get covered in vanilla, but there are surely worse things in life}

- Add the whole vanilla pod to the jar. If using two jars, cut the pod in half and add one half to each jar
- Pour the syrup into the jar and cover the pears completely

Notes
